Nice over all balance and nuances in color of skin, which is normally very difficult. The red garment comes over in the center like the shape of a rose. The intense light in the upper left corner is well painted. The over all impression is great combination of technical and intuition. I have the impression that her left forearm (the right one for us) should be just a little bit smaller sized. But I did not see that from the beginning. The general impression attracted me, congrats.

This is beautiful. Congratulations on your well deserved win in the Traditional Artwork of the Month. I have always admired your work. You have an understanding of the female form that goes beyond the framework. Your understanding goes to the beauty of the woman within.

The eyes, the hair, the body, the red draping . . . stunning and captures the mind to want to know more about her. Your shading is magnificent and the shading of the background makes her seem angelic while sexy.

Comment from nature rules


This is a beautiful work of art Jes. The background colors are soft and flowing through their shades of light and shadows with a gentle smoothness. Your figure is beautiful with your typically excellent sense of proportion. The tones of skin are soft and gently but clearly defined. I always enjoy looking for that one little dab of paint here and there in your work that changes a flat figure..such as lips...into one with depth and form. You are a master at your technic. What style would you call your painting? Beautiful. Wish I had a six.

I tend to be more awed and appreciative of painters than critical. I like the flow of her dress and the fine color palette but think her mouth is less attractive than the rest of her face.

Excellent first impression - I love the color range you used for this painting as it fits her perfectly to character and style

fantastic work on her body shape, a very elegant and appealing painting, you managed it perfectly to create a natural tissue flow on her dress - super shadow and light application, excellent light reflection on her skin - a very beautiful composition, thanks for sharing

i do like your work my friend and your recent pieces are so sexy and seductive and right up my street. The expressions you attain in the subjects faces draw us in and the teasing you portray through the body positioning and the occasional strategic positioning of cloth always brings a sense of passion to the image...keep it up my friend ..its all good

This is a beautiful painting James, and I especially like the light blue and textured background. The crimson colored drape also goes well with these blue hues and gives the painting a fine balance in colors.

The fine expression in the woman's face is indeed seductive and gives character to woman, and I also think the body is done well. You have brought life and light into the painting by the good use of highlights, you have indeed brought out fine textures in the crimson drape.

The format works really well and it is a good balance between positive and negative space. The woman has also for a fine placement. Indeed a great looking and well crafted oil painting.
